Antonio’s Pizza & Pasta

If I could give no stars I would. As I walk in to ask if they could accommodate a party of 20 I hear the manager/​owner say to a fellow co worker that he «didn’t care where we sat and if we didn’t like it we could go somewhere else.» Guess what my good sir I will. I have lived in this valley for 25 years and have always loved the pizza. Due to you I will never go in there again. You lost a life long customer. Unfortunate you have run this place into the ground.

Excellent, simple pizzeria. Very nice service, and good quality pizza (we ordered the Sicilian). Very high quality carbonated beverages, served in nice Mason jars. A pleasant surprise during our last trip to the Santa Ynez area.

Always very cautious when eating in a touristy towns. I read the reviews and proceed with caution. I was expected a 3 star and definitely received better! This place had amazing pizza. The Sicilian was OMG delicious. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. The BIG BIG soda’s were delicious and the co2 mix was awesome. If I lived in this town I would go there for the soda’s alone. The décor is really not much to get excited about but I wouldn’t hesitate to go there again If I was to visit the town in the future.

Portions are big and our waiter was very attentive. The food was amazing. We highly recommend Antonios to locals and travelers alike.

this place is my go to restaurant when im carbing up before the solvang century. the food is delicious and is good value forbthe price. the family meal can easily feed a family of 6 no problem all for under $ 50. the service this time was stellar.

Best pizza and subs we have had in a long time. This place rocks!!! Pizza is old school with some of the toppings on top and under the cheese. The «works» sub sandwich was great and the bread is top notch. The service is fantastic also. Do not miss this place!!!

Great pizza and salad. Friendly staff. Quick service. Price was reasonable but not near as inexpensive as previously stated in an earlier review.

Great food and price. The meal came with a sandwich, salad, chips, and large drink. The bread was really good, soft, and warm. The waitress was very friendly and nice.

Love the chicken pesto pizza and the cheese sticks!!! We gladly drive from lompoc when we want some good pizza! The ingredients are fresh and the employees are very nice.

Stopped in for some lunch. Just a meatball sandwich and house salad and it was pretty good. Waiter very attentive which is very important to me.

Food is good, but the lack of delivery to Santa Ynez is the reason for the poor rating. We used to get delivery no problem. The last two times we called, same excuse: only one delivery driver so we don’t go to SY! Hire a flippin driver then!!! My response: NO MORE ANTONIO’S PIZZA!!! Too many pizza restaurants in the area that DO deliver to SY to keep my loyalty!

My reviews are based on the feel of the place, the people and especially the food. I think the food is more important that the service. You will never read about «the waitress/​waiter didn’t like me» or «he/​she gave me a mean look»…that is all based on the writer. So…
This place is our stop EVERYTIME we drive from the IE to Central or Northern Cali, Oregon or Washington. It’s our stop.
The place is in a western looking strip mall and towards the back. People who come in are mostly locals, which mean alot. They know the employee names and the employees know their names and their drinks. It’s your basic table and chairs with some western look. Not too much, but just enough. It’s a cute and simple place. Alot of to go orders. That’s a good sign.
Today we ordered a pizza. A combination pizza which was surprising great tasting. The crust was thin, the sauce was not drenching the dough and the toppings were fresh and plentiful. I’m not a combination pizza person, but I was very happy. The sausage was very, very good. Definitely an item that will be ordered again.
There is an area for the kiddies, which is very, very important and necessary.
While here, an out of towner came in to inquire about ordering a tray of lasagna. The host adviced them that they don’t serve trays and recommended another restaurant however, she explained the size and cheapest way to get the best deal here. The host was so nice and accomodating that the women ordered with her and were happy as can be.
There is something to say about genuine noce, no agenda people.
This is definitely the place to stop by on a trip, or if you live close by.
This will continue to be my «rest stop» on my road trips.
Thanks Antonios Pizza.

On our drive home from Santa Barbara to Grover Beach, the freeway was shut down due to a fire. We had to turn around and take a backroad that put us through Buellton. It was quite a bit later in the day than we had planned to be on the road so we looked for a place to stop off and eat dinner. Our three year old heard us talking over our options and wanted pizza so we stopped off here with hopeful expectations.
The ambiance is okay. You can tell they’re going for an rustic, old west theme but I feel like it hasn’t been finished. Still, it was nice. The atmosphere was inviting, though the theming wasn’t thorough and actually it seemed like it needed a bit more lighting in places. Yes, I’m overanalyzing but it was an observation I had during my first impression of the place.
It wasn’t very busy. We went in the back area where they had some arcade games. We sat down but didn’t known if menus were supposed to be brought to us or how ordering worked. We weren’t greeted by anyone so we were a bit confused. There were about 8 arcade games and I’d say 3 weren’t working and the area itself looked like it could use some TLC. Anyways, my son enjoyed looking at them so it was still good for someone his age.
Our server was nice and polite. He had to come back to double check what size of pizza we wanted but the pizzas were cooked and out to us within 15 min. The problem was that the order was messed up. He took 10% off our tab for the mistake, but it still felt like I was paying for food I didn’t actually order. We made it work and ate the pizza though.
I’m no food expert but I did not enjoy this pizza (aside from the messed up order). The cheese was okay. I don’t recall the sauce at all. The sausage tasted like something from a supermarket. The pizza had no structure to it and seemed soggy and limp when picking it up (see other reviewer’s photo in the gallery for this place). Honestly, a couple of times during dinner it seemed like I was eating a frozen pizza that I had microwaved. That was the consistency, texture and taste I got. It had been years since I had actually eaten a pizza in that manner but the sensation came back to me very fast. My wife agreed with me later when we discussed our meal.
The service there overall was nice. The server was apologetic for messing up the order. I can tell it was an accident. The place wasn’t that busy so I’m not sure how it happened but, oh well. My three year old got his little cheese pizza and enjoyed it so if he’s happy then I’m happy. I guess I went in feeling hopeful for a pleasant surprise after a long day and was unfortunately let down. I don’t want it to seem like I’m hating on the place just because. I hope these issues get rectified and the business is successful. This was just my experience.

We had Caesar salad with no Romaine and very little dressing, no bread sticks or crackers, then we ordered wings which the waitress said were very good. I told her I didn’t like buffalo sauce and I like them plain. They were rubbery and the skin was slimy and very chewy. I do not recommend salad or wings. I regret to say we did not try the pizza, most of the other patrons were taking most of their pizzas back home with them. I saw only one table that finish their pie. Based on the pricing of their pie it should be really good, I will have to try it a later day.

From the other reviews I don’t think the locals here know what real Italian food taste like. The spaghetti sauce was overly sweet and I don’t think it had any garlic in it, also very watery. My wife at first ordered cajun chicken but they were out of cajun so she ordered the spaghetti also. The staff here was very friendly and the ambiance of the place was a typical Pizza restaurant. However I loved your music selection here. it was late eighties early nineties music and I loved it all. your choices are few here in this town if you’re craving Italian. Hopefully the pizza is great but next time I’m visiting Solvang I ‘m trying another Italian spot.

Delicious fresh salad, bread, spaghetti & pizza! A must for great food & friendly service! We were very lucky to end up here. We Unilocaled, went with recommendations & here we are:) Thank you Antonio’s staff!!!

Great place, conveniently located off the main drag (Mission Drive). The manager/​bartender was friendly and attentive. There was a cycling event going on this day (3÷21÷15), and I chose my solo lunch here @ Antonio’s. Pizza and wine were terrific. Apparently many of the cyclists chose Antonio’s pizza as the night before dinner. I would definitely come back!

Our group of four came here after receiving a pizza recommendation from a local. Walked in to a nice and relaxed environment. There was a kids birthday party in the back room but we only knew it because my SO walked back there to the bathroom.
So we ordered the garlic cheese bread app and two large pizzas. The food was solid (just what was called for after a couple wine tastings), but what will make us come back is the service. The owner/​manager was warm, friendly, funny, and attentive from the start. When he brought out the two large pizzas, and we all realized that we had ordered way too much food, he said «the spaghetti and salad will be out it a bit.» We all expressed shock and he said with a straight face he said, «they come with all our pizza orders.» We finally realized he was joking, but my SO said «mmm…spaghetti» (more to herself than anyone). Anyway, a little while later our man brings her a bowl of spaghetti and marinara. SO loves it!
So we’re ready to leave, and we obviously have leftovers to take with us. He brings us a box, and some extra homemade ranch dressing (delicious BTW), and he brings a whole takeout serving of spaghetti and marinara. :)
Customer service above and beyond. We’ll be back for the food, but more importantly for the great experience.

This is the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in my life (besides that one time I went to San Francisco and ate the best pizza voted in the nation)! Fresh and crispy crust, bomb fresh abundance of cheese and bomb sauce and pepperoni. Can’t believe we accidentally stumbled onto this unexpected hole-​in-​the-​wall heaven. Maybe you should too!

Order took an hour and they said 20mins. If you’re not in a hurry, you can eat here. Food was ok. Server just seemed to care about taking on more orders instead
Of taking care of the people that already ordered. Not very clean inside either. Cook was wiping his sweat with his shirt. Food was ok but not worth it.
